BLIS
*
The BLIS 88
function is designed to help pro-
vide assistance in heavy traffic with several lanes moving in the same direction by helpingthe driver to detect the presence of vehiclesin the "blind spot" area behind and to the sideof the vehicle.
Location of BLIS indicator light
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alert the driver of:
vehicles in your "blind spot"
vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacentlanes.
BLIS overview
Blind spot zone
Rapidly approaching vehicle zone
The system is designed to react to:
vehicles passing your vehicle
vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or arapidly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indi-cator light will illuminate in the relevant rear-view mirror and glow steadily. If the driverthen uses the turn signal on the side in whichthe warning has been given, the indicator lightwill become brighter and begin flashing. BLIS is active when your vehicle is traveling at a speed over 10 km/h (6 mph).

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.345
If a passing vehicle's speed is more than 15 km/h (9 mph) faster than your vehicle, BLISwill not react.
NOTE
The light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected thevehicle. If the vehicle is passed on bothsides simultaneously, both lights come on.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
*
The Park Assist Cameras (PAC 111
) use trajec-
tory lines and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's position in relation to its imme-diate surroundings.
Example of trajectory lines
The trajectory lines show the anticipated tra- jectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based on the current position of the steeringwheel and can help simplify parallel parking,backing into tight spaces or attaching a trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were painted lines on the ground behind thevehicle and are directly affected by the way inwhich the steering wheel is turned. Thismakes it possible for the driver to see path thevehicle will take, even if he/she turns thesteering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, cor-ners of the body, etc.) extends out from thevehicle.
NOTE
When reversing with a trailer that is not electrically connected to the vehi-cle, the screen guide lines show thepath the
vehicle will take – not the
trailer.
The screen does not show guide lineswhen a trailer is electrically connectedto the vehicle's electrical system.
Guide lines are not shown when zoom-ing in.

Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob in the tunnel console when the remotekey is in the passenger compartment.
Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
Buckle your seat belt.
Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mirrors.
Make sure you can fully depress thebrake pedal.
The remote key is not physically used to startthe ignition because the vehicle is equippedwith the keyless Passive Start system. To start the vehicle:
1. The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must be in the front section of the passen-ger compartment. With the optional key- less locking/unlocking function *, the key
can be anywhere in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal 1
as
far as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the original position.
WARNING
Never use more than one inlay mat at a time on the driver's floor. If any othertype of floor mat is used, remove theoriginal mat from the driver's seat floorbefore driving. All types of mats mustbe securely anchored in the attach-ment points in the floor. Make sure thefloor mat does not impede the move-ment of the brake pedal or acceleratorpedal in any way, as this could be aserious safety hazard.
Volvo's floor mats are specially manu-factured for your vehicle. They must beproperly secured in the attachmentpoints in the floor to help ensure theycannot slide and become trappedunder the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the enginestarts or until overheating protection is trig-gered.
Error messagesIf the Vehicle key not found message is
shown in the instrument panel at start, place the remote key at the backup reader and thenmake a new start attempt.
1 If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob clockwise to start the engine.

Economical driving
A more economical driving style can help lower fuel consumption.
Before driving
If possible, precondition the vehicle before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible when itis cold outside, use seat and steeringwheel heating first. Avoid heating theentire passenger compartment to reducethe amount of current being taken fromthe start battery.
Avoid using idling to warm up the vehiclebefore driving.
The type of tires and inflation pressureused could affect energy consumption –consult an authorized Volvo retailer foradvice on suitable tires.
Remove unnecessary items from the vehi-cle - the heavier the load, the higher thefuel consumption.
While driving
Activate Eco drive mode.
Use gear selector position
D as often as
possible.
When using manual gear shifting, drive using the highest possible gear. Use the gear indicator 14
.
Maintain a steady speed and a generous following distance to traffic ahead to mini-mize braking. Use engine braking if possi-ble.
Higher speeds increase energy consump-tion because air resistance increases withspeed.
In a cold climate, reduce heating of thewindshield/rear window, mirrors, seatsand the steering wheel.
Avoid driving with the windows open.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to keepthe vehicle stationary on an uphill gradi-ent. Instead, activate the auto-hold brakefunction at a standstill.
Use trip data to see current fuel consump-tion.
WARNING
Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is moving, e.g. when driving downhill. Thisdeactivates certain important systemssuch as power steering and brakes.
After driving
If possible, park in a climate-controlled garage.

Calibrating the compass *
The globe is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass 29
should be calibrated if the
vehicle is driven from one zone to another.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large, open area away from steel constructions and high-voltage power lines.
2. Start the engine and switch off all electri- cal equipment (climate system, wipers,etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.
NOTE
Calibration may fail or not even be initiated if electrical equipment is not turned off.
3. Hold the button on the bottom of the rear-view mirror pressed for about 3 seconds (using e.g. a paper clip). The number of thecurrent magnetic zone is shown.
